Question

In a certain standing wave pattern. The distance from one node to the next is 2.0 m. What is the wavelength of one of the standing waves?

Answer 1

Given that the distance between 2 consecutive nodes is 2m

We have to find the wavelength

`\lambda`

The distance between 2 nodes is half the wavelength,

`\begin{gathered} (\lambda)/(2)=2 \\ \lambda=\text{ 4 m} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the wavelength of the standing wave is 4 m.
